Little Braxted is a small, rural parish in the district of Maldon, in Essex, England. Set among hedged farmland and quiet lanes just inland from the Blackwater Estuary, it lies close to Great Braxted and within easy driving distance of the market town of Maldon and the larger centres of Chelmsford and Colchester.
The area retains a compact cluster of historic cottages and farmhouses and has an agricultural character, with local life centred on farming, country pursuits and a close‑knit community rather than commerce or industry. It’s popular with walkers and birdwatchers drawn to the nearby estuary and offers a quiet example of traditional Essex countryside close to bigger towns.
